Vers. 175. Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee, and thy judgements shall help me.
Vers. 175. Let my soule liue, and it shall praise thee, and thy iudgements shall helpe mee.
Here ••• man of God desireth life to none other end, but to praise GOD, in keeping of his word, as he said before, Port. 3. 1. Be beneficial to thy servant, that I may live, & keep thy Word. In which place he also desireth none other life, but that which is according to the word of God. For all other lives have a vain title of life, but this is true life: We see the man of God doth not only feel with the Apostle, that in God we move, live, and ⟨p. 606⟩have our being: but also speaketh of a more excellent thing, to wit, that in him we live spiritually. Again, he looketh not in himself for any natural life; but acknowledgeth that man• life is of the word of God. Let us therefore learn with David to commit our lives to the Lord, Psalm. 31. 15. Into thine hands I commend my spirit, &c. He speaketh this in his life time, and committeth it to the Lord, that as he gave it him; so he would vouchsafe to keep it being given.
